The essentials, no fluff:
High location with panoramic views
The hotel is situated on the hill of San Vigilio, the highest area of Bergamo. The rooms offer views of Città Alta and the surrounding plain. The upper station of the funicular is about 200 metres away, facilitating access to the lower city.
Preserved historical architecture
The accommodation occupies 17th-century buildings that originally housed soldiers from the castle. The 2018 renovation maintained the original architectural features, combining historical elements with contemporary room design.
Small size and exclusivity
Only nine rooms spread across two connected buildings. This small format defines the boutique character of the establishment.
Terrace with views and outdoor spaces
A terrace decorated with a century-old vine serves snacks, breakfasts, and brunches, with views of the city. The hotel has its own gardens and outdoor furniture.
